Victor Young at Paramount

KRITZERLAND 20027-8

LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 UNITS

APPOINTMENT WITH DANGER PRELUDE

 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Victor Young is the most unappreciated composer that Hollywood has ever had. He was an assembly line producing score after score with songs that have become standards. Bill Evans, a favorite of mine in the jazz world, recorded Young compositions and turned them into jazz standards. Henry Mancini, who Victor Young helped get a start in Hollywood, wrote an incredible suite of his hits and reintroduced many to his talents.
APPOINTMENT WITH DANGER (1950) starred Alan Ladd, Phyllis Thaxter, Harry Morgan, and Jack Webb. Ladd was a postal agent attempting to break up a million dollar robbery. Thaxter was a nun who saw more than she should have and Webb and Morgan played thugs. The movie which is free to watch on the internet will really help you understand the score. The “Prelude” which is included as an audio clip sets the tone for the picture with train motion a military theme and a sentimental theme for the relationship between Ladd and Thaxter. Source material music is prevalent which includes “ Tantum Ergo,” a child choir, “Symphony No. 1,” a Young arrangement of Brahms 1st Symphony, a scene where the radio is turned up, and “Lonely Am I/Slow Bus to Memphis” a bop number and a slow dance tune which are played on records. All of this shows the versatility of Young and his attention to details. The underscore material is well written and certainly of interest.
THE ACCUSED (1949) had a controversial story for its day dealing with a student who sexually attacks his teacher is killed in self defense but the teacher not only tries to cover it up but falls in love with his best friend. May I say it is a typical Loretta Young melodrama? Robert Cummings, Wendell Corey, and Sam Jaffe also star. The theme is a pretty one with a style that will make you recognize his compositions Golden Earrings and Stella By Starlight.
SEPTEMBER AFFAIR (1950) had a bit of a twist in the plot where a plane crash allows two lovers in there autumn years to disappear into the sunset. It starred Joseph Cotton, Joan Fontaine, and Jessica Tandy. Part of the score was the famous song September Song (Weill/Anderson) which Young nicely incorporates into six of the cues. This is a beautiful song lushly done with his singing strings, Young’s trademark when he recorded for Decca records. Other tracks feature a travel log of European sounds from Italy and other countries.
Fans of Victor Young will welcome these new soundtracks as a welcome addition to their collections. The average soundtrack collector will likely pass on this release as we can’t have everything. This release is limited to 1000 copies. Sound quality is fine for films made in the late forties and fifties.

The Storm op. 76/Tchaikovsky

 

Written in 1864 while Tchaikovsky was still a student as an assignment to do an overture for an opera, he wrote the overture based on a play by Ostrovsky Groza. Tchaikovsky met Ostrovsky as a result of his love for card playing. The work wasn’t performed during his lifetime, the first performance being conducted by Alexander Glazunov in 1896. Given the higher opus number Tchaikovsky reworked this piece and the result is a very listenable dramatic piece. What Rubinstein was brutally critical about, Cui called it “a museum of anti-musical curiosities,” John Warrack, a biographer of Tchaikovsky, called it “a remarkable powerful work….”
The work uses a Russian folksong that Mussorgsky also used in his Khovanshchinai and Tchaikovsky recycled in his seldom played Overture in F Minor, that wasn’t discovered until 1922. There is a similarity in style and orchestration to his often played Romeo and Juliet. There are storm sequences with swirling ominous strings and loud percussion and brass. There are two quiet scenes which offer themes on a romantic dreamy level but you’ll learn as you listen to this work that it is an emotional rollercoaster. Not any one theme lasts and is developed for any length of time.
There are several recordings of this work and the time varies between 11 and 14 minutes. While the Chandos recording has a biting snappy quality to it there is nothing negative about the Brilliant recording and at a little over $2.00 it is quite a bargain.

Hamlet Fantasy Overture op. 67a/Tchaikovsky

Not to be confused with the incidental music he wrote for the play which is opus 67b, the overture was written in 1888 and followed similar ideas he used in “Romeo and Juliet” and “The Tempest.” It was dedicated to Edvard Grieg who he met in 1888 and took an instant liking to. Like so many of Tchaikovsky’s works it is filled with emotional turmoil, conflict, love, and a conclusion that ties together the piece that your listening to.
It begins with a loud resonating drum roll from the timpani, a prelude to a dark dramatic theme that as it’s developed is taken through a series of inner conflict. I’m reminded of an upcoming storm as the wind is blowing. A second theme is developed with swirling strings positive brass harmony from the trumpets and trombones. As quickly as it comes to a conclusion it gives way to the oboe and a third theme this one on the tranquil side. The other winds provide unique harmony for it as it segues to the strings who add a bit of romance to it. These are happy times. The trumpets offer a fanfare with excellent trombone harmony as it seques into another conflict of good over evil. The good prevails as the oboe offers the same serene theme again. Tchaikovsky as ending returns to the original theme as he often does in his works and brings a frenzy to a peak. He ends the work on a somber funeral like note as you hear the lower strings and timpani fade into silence.
The performance of the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra of Moscow Radio conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev, a tchaikovsian, offers a tempo that isn’t rushed. The orchestra members know the work and their playing shows this. This is an excellent performance and a worthy addition to the 55CD Tchaikovsky box set.

The Tempest/Tchaikovsky

 

 

VOX BOX #CDX 5079

The Vox Music Group was known to classical fans as the budget label in the 70’s. If memory serves me correctly Tower and another local classical shop sold them at 2 for $5.00. They used orchestras, conductors, and soloists who were not as well known, their vinyl had noise issues, warpage, and other little quirks but they offered some material that was not often recorded. I probably had well over a 100 in my collection. Over 20 years ago they introduced many of their old recordings in Vox Box collections consisting of 2 and 3 CD’s at an attractive price. This set offers in addition to the Manfred some of his lesser known orchestral works. The Tempest recording fits into that category. It is based on the work of Shakespeare and was composed in a mere 11 days in 1873. First performed in December of 1873 at a Moscow Russian Musical Society concert conducted by Nicholai Rubinstein and was an instant success. While Tchaikovsky was on tour he often performed this work. The years have not kind to it and it is seldom performed. Richard Freed, the author of the liner notes offers a reason that it is far too similar in style to his popular “Romeo and Juliet.”

The twenty minute work is divided into three sections: storm, magic island/love theme, and the leaving of the island to the sea. The storm is as you would think a violent depiction of a ship at sea floundering with the wind blowing gale force and the ship beginning to sink. It begins with an andante heroic theme with the horns playing the melody. It is an introduction that segues into the storm sequence as the tempo picks up. One can hear the influence that Tchaikovsky must have had on a young Rimsky Korsakov. This plays out like a Wagner opera. The second section offers the love theme which is similar in orchestration and style to “Romeo and Juliet.” While not as memorable a theme it still is a good one and enhances the tone poem. The third section is a combination of the turmoil of the sea with the peace and tranquility of two couples in love who row off into the sunset.

The work is definitely one that would be nice to have in your collection. The performance and recording of the Bochum Symphony conducted by Othmar Maga is adequate. There are other recordings available.

 

 

Play It Again/Classic Sound of Hollywood

SONY MASTERWORK 88843 03384 2

Theme From Peyton Place

 

On April 1st Sony Masterworks released a two CD set called Play It Again Sam The Classic Sound of Hollywood a little different compilation featuring such conductors as Charles Gerhardt, Maurice Jarre, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Elmer Bernstein, John Williams, Arthur Fiedler, and Ennio Morricone. The tracks selected span a 40 year time period from “King Kong” to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” They dug deep into the vaults to find such selections as “The Thing,” “Peyton Place,” and “Salome.” The CD which is available from Amazon for $17.00 is an excellent choice for the listener who wants a taste of my favorite soundtrack material Golden Age and several selections of material are included and performed by Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic. I can’t stress enough the superior recording, arranging, and performing such classic works as Max Steiner’s “King Kong (1933)” The seven plus minute track includes the main title, aborigine dance, and Kong’s appearance on stage in New York. This was one of the first major studio releases (RKO) that had 60 minutes of original music. I have it ranked as one of the top three scores of all time. “Salome” is a treat with its oriental mysticism remind me of a mature Rimsky-Korsakov with ear attention harp glissandos. With “Of Human Bondage” and “Between Two Worlds” you’ll hear the classic golden age sound that helped make there lavish productions even more extravagant with music you’ll walk away from the theater humming. Another seldom heard sleeper “The Thing From Another World” from multi award winning Dimitri Tiomkin is a departure from the brash dissonance of so many of the ‘B’ movies. Tiomkin was classically trained by Alexander Glazunov and it shows in this ten minute suite. Yes the theremin was used as it was in films of this genre especially in this time period. And I must certainly classify this one as an A- picture. Of course you’ll also hear your favorites from “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Gone With the Wind,” and “Breakfast At Tiffany’s.”

Sometimes The Runner Stumbles/Gold

 

BSXCD 8943

LIMITED EDITION OF 1500 UNITS

When I think of Ernest Gold I also think of Exodus, his Oscar winning film which has been recorded and included on 100’s of compilation releases over the years. He has done so much more that I need to revisit some of his scores which I’ve neglected to do.

Gold (1921-1999) was born in Austria and became a child prodigy like Korngold at an early age. His jewish heritage didn’t sit well and while attending the state academy of music in Vienna the family fled from Europe in 1938 to America to escape the hatred of Hitler for the jews. He eventually found his way to Hollywood and composed there from 1945-1992, over 100 films. Early on he did a lot of work for Lippert, Republic, and the Columbia ‘B’ unit. One of the films he did was The Land Unknown for Lippert which I have in my modest collection of films. It is nothing but ordinary. His scores got a whole lot better and this first time CD release to Sometimes the Runner Stumbles, starring Dick Van Dyke, Kathleen Quinlan, Maureen Stapleton, Ray Bolger, and Tammy Grimes told the story of a relationship between priest and nun.

“Main Title” begins with two themes that are dominant in the score. It is a string and wind ensemble without brass or percussion. The oboe begins a religious feeling theme very quiet. It segues into a variation of the second theme “My Rumble Seat Gal” and then the strings give the main title a lush treatment. “When Did She Arrive?/ The Tour” is a full on romantic treatment of the main theme with solos from the oboe and harp. “My Rumble Seat Gal” is a young female chorus with trumpets carrying the melody. It is repeated in other tracks sometimes a brass band style with a hint of cymbals. The lyrics which are clever were written by Mrs. Gold. “What About Your Responsibility” features religious overtones with the use of the organ. The orchestrations are well done and feature classical references such as a minuet, and a funeral like adagio. Gold makes the best out of a small ensemble and manages to give it a much fuller sound. Many of the tracks are less than 20 members.

Fans of Gold will find this to be a welcome addition to their collection and others who are more into a laid back easy on the nerves listening will certainly enjoy this. I’ve included an audio clip of the main title.

Tchaikovsky 55CD set/compilation of artists

How long does it take to listen to this new release of 55 CD’s of more or less the complete works of Tchaikovsky? If I went without sleep for a couple of days I could get through it in about 60 hours, it is that complete. The price of the set is $129.95 which if you do the math works out to a little over $2.00 a CD. You might have some Tchaikovsky in your collection but it would still pay you to have this set for the wide variety of material it offers. It includes the symphonies, overtures, piano concertos, chamber works, piano sonatas, operas and so much more. I’ve included a listing of all material that is covered in this set. Orchestras such as the London Philharmonic, and the Royal Philharmonic are represented as well as such legendary artists Rozhdestvensky, Fedoseyev, Marriner and Ponti. While I can’t say that there is an outstanding recording, one that would grab your attention the offerings are all adequate and when you consider the price it has to be thought of as a best buy. You could spend many evenings enjoying the countless hours of his wonderful material.
The box concept seems to be a good idea for the storing of the CD’s. Each sleeve has the listing of what is included on that CD. The box opens nicely and allows easy access to the material.
The set can be ordered from http://www.naxos. com

Tchaikovsky was one of the earlier students of the St Petersburg Conservatory established by Anton Rubinstein, completing his studies there to become a member of the teaching staff at the similar institution established in Moscow by Anton Rubinstein’s brother, Nikolay. He was able to withdraw from teaching when a rich widow, Nadezhda von Meck, offered him financial support; this support continued for much of his life, although, according to the original conditions of the pension, they never met. Tchaikovsky was a man of neurotic diffidence, his self-doubt increased by his homosexuality. It has been suggested by some that an impending scandal caused him to take his own life at a time when he was at the height of his powers as a composer, although others have found this improbable. His music is thoroughly Russian in character, but, although he was influenced by Balakirev and the ideals of the Russian nationalist composers ‘The Five’, he may be seen as belonging rather to the more international school of composition fostered by the Conservatories that Balakirev, leader of ‘The Five’, so much deplored.
Operas
Two above all of Tchaikovsky’s operas have retained a place in international repertoire. Eugene Onegin, based on a work by Pushkin, was written in 1877, the year of the composer’s disastrous and brief attempt at marriage. He returned to Pushkin in 1890 with his powerful opera The Queen of Spades.
Ballets
Tchaikovsky, a master of the miniature forms necessary for ballet, succeeded in raising the quality of the music provided for an art that had undergone considerable technical development in 19th-century Russia under the guidance of the French choreographer Marius Petipa. The first of Tchaikovsky’s full-length ballet scores was Swan Lake, completed in 1876, followed in 1889 by The Sleeping Beauty. His last ballet, based on a story by E.T.A. Hoffmann, was The Nutcracker, first staged in St Petersburg in December 1892.
Orchestral Music
Symphonies
Tchaikovsky wrote six symphonies. The First Symphony, sometimes known as ‘Winter Daydreams’, was completed in its first version in 1866 but later revised. No. 2, the so-called ‘Little Russian’, was composed in 1872 but revised eight years later. Of the other symphonies, No. 5, with its motto theme and waltz movement in the place of a scherzo, was written in 1888, while the last completed symphony, known as the ‘Pathétique’, was first performed under Tchaikovsky’s direction shortly before his death in 1893.
Fantasy Overtures and other works
Tchaikovsky turned to literary and dramatic sources for a number of orchestral compositions. Romeo and Juliet, his first fantasy overture after Shakespeare, was written in 1869 and later twice revised. Burya is a symphonic fantasia inspired by The Tempest, and the last of the Shakespearean fantasy overtures, Hamlet, was written in 1888. Francesca da Rimini translates into musical terms the illicit love of Francesca and Paolo, as recounted in Dante’s Inferno, and Manfred, written in 1885, draws inspiration from the poem of that name by Byron. The Voyevoda is described as a symphonic ballad and is based on a poem by Mickiewicz. Other, smaller-scale orchestral compositions include the Serenade for strings, the popular Italian Capriccio, and, rather less well known, four orchestral suites. Tchaikovsky thought little of his 1812 overture, with its patriotic celebration of victory against Napoleon 70 years before, while Marche slave had a topical patriotic purpose. Souvenir de Florence, originally for string sextet, was completed in 1892 in its final version.
Concertos
The first of Tchaikovsky’s three piano concertos has become the most generally popular of all Romantic piano concertos. The second is not so well known, while the third, started in 1893, consists of a single movement, Allegro de concert. Tchaikovsky’s single violin concerto, rejected as being too difficult by the leading violinist in Russia, Leopold Auer, later found a firm place in repertoire. For solo cello Tchaikovsky wrote the Variations on a Rococo Theme and the Pezzo capriccioso. Shorter pieces for violin and orchestra include the Sérénade mélancholique and the Valse-scherzo. Souvenir d’un lieu cher, written as an expression of gratitude for hospitality to Madame von Meck, was originally for violin and piano.
Chamber Music
Tchaikovsky’s chamber music includes three string quartets. The slow movement of the first of these has proved very popular both in its original form and in an arrangement by the composer for cello and string orchestra. The Andante funèbre of the third quartet also exists in an arrangement by the composer for violin and piano.
Piano Music
Tchaikovsky provided a quantity of music for the piano, particularly in the form of shorter pieces suited to the lucrative amateur market. Collections published by the composer include The Seasons, a set of 12 pieces (one for each month), and several sets of pieces with varying degrees of difficulty.
Vocal and Choral Music
Tchaikovsky wrote a considerable quantity of songs and duets, including settings of Goethe’s Mignon songs as well as of less distinguished verse by his contemporaries. His choral works include the 1878 Liturgy of St John Chrysostom and a number of other settings, many of them for unaccompanied voices, of sacred and secular texts.

Jeepers Creepers/Compilation of Horror Movie Hits

KR 20027-7 Kritzerland
LIMITED EDITION OF 1000 UNITS

Bruce Kimmel, owner of Kritzerland, has come up with the idea of using songs from horror movies and the result is fun, witty, and nothing I expected to hear when I spun the CD for the first time. As well as being interested in soundtracks I’m also interested in watching horror movies and hearing “ Hey You” from The Mummy’s Curse, and “Faro-La, Faro-Li” from Frankenstein Meets The Wolfman was an extremely pleasant surprise and most enjoyable. I’ve included this as an audio clip to tempt you. Always remember that the clips are low quality and not an indication of the true sound. This is selfish on my part as they save me a lot of space which helps out expenses. Bruce very likely used actors and actresses who have worked with him in his musicals he produces, directs, and sometime acts in them himself.
Beside the above mentioned I also enjoyed “Look For A Star” a pop hit that woefully seemed out of place in Circus of Horrors, a ‘B’ film that I wouldn’t waste my time on, is nicely sung by Guy Haines pretty true to the original. “Who Killed Teddy Bear” is nicely done with a Burt Bacharach “Walk on By” arrangement. Another song that was better than the movie was “You Gotta Have EEE-OOO” from the ‘B’ film Monster on Campus. The rock and roll number which is sung by Jason Graae has an infectious melody, some nice sax work that certainly recalls memories. The compilation also has “Eeny Meeny Miney Moe” from “I Was A Teenage Werewolf,” the Michael Landon forgettable film, and “Daddy Bird” from Frankenstein’s Daughter. After a 30 plus second blank spot we hear the “Mothra’s Song” this time with English words to end the 8 minute track. The previous track had some nice flute work and then the lyrics sung in Japanese.
This is not a soundtrack album but a easy listening CD that makes excellent background music to listen to as you’re working around the house or having people over for a gathering. The recording quality is fine and except for the bonus that is not shown it is one that monster fans will enjoy. In fact I’m getting out my DVD of Mummy’s Curse and having a listen to “Hey You.”
